I’ve been missing for a few days but I can’t apologize because I’ve been distracted by the cutest baby boy ever! My sister had a boy 2 weeks ago today and I came to town to spend some time with them. I have some really cute pictures to share but for now I thought I would share some of the knitted items I made for my new nephew.

1. Baby hats. I made a few small ones and they are slightly bigger than his head so he has some room to grown. I also made a set of matching hats for him and his daddy (or mommy it fits my sister too).

2. Baby mittens. I made a plain version of this pattern from purl bee. These are a bit big for him now but they will be so cute when he gets a bit bigger.

3. Baby legwarmers. For the larger ones I used this pattern also from purl bee (they are one of my go to sites). Everyone had a good laugh about them because they are way too big for the baby right now so I made another pair that were about 1 inch across by 4 inches tall. They are really tiny but so are his legs right now! Too cute!

4. Baby moccasins. Pattern here. These are fun because you can add any design or pattern you want to the front. They are also pretty fast to knit up.

5. Baby blanket. This one is my favorite. It’s super cozy and plush but also really easy to knit even for a beginner and it makes a great gift. As they get older they could use it for a lap blanket. It’s fun to imagine them using it for years to come.

Do you have a great knitted baby gift idea? If so please share the link below! I imagine I won’t stop knitting for my nephew any time soon. hehe.
